Grief Awareness Week feels like the right moment to share a new piece I wrote for my publisher, Familius, that's now featured on their Habitat Hub.

“The Empty Chair: How to Face Holiday Grief with Love” is for anyone who's missing someone they love this holiday season. It’s a reminder that the empty seat at the table isn’t just a symbol of loss, it’s a symbol of love that never goes away. And never should.

So, if you’re grieving this year, you’re definitely not alone. Your person mattered. And there’s room for both joy and ache at the same table.

Holiday grief feels lighter with guidance from crisis counselor Lisa Sugarman. Learn how to honor loved ones, embrace the empty chair, and move forward with love.

🔔We're celebrating Christmas early with this lovely review from School Library Journal 🔔

Here's what they had to say about our keepsake picture book, I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

"The digital illustrations...Like the text...have a timeless quality, reflecting the poem’s message of hope in images of street scenes and the cozy interiors of homes and churches."
